Bijou Cocktail | Classic Gin, Vermouth & Chartreuse Mix

A recipe dating back to the early 20th century, adapted for the modern bar scene. The original blend of sweet vermouth, gin, and Chartreuse creates a light and pleasant mix, with the reduced amount of Chartreuse making the drink less potent. This well-balanced cocktail offers a delicate sweetness and a gentle fruity aftertaste with hints of fresh juniper. Bijou is equally suitable for formal events or lively parties.
